Shocked Scurrah confident the Warriors are clean

Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah is confident his side are clean from performance-enhancing drugs and doesn't want the club's 2011 NRL grand final loss to Manly - a club feeling the heat in Australia's drug scandal – to be investigated.

Former Sea Eagles star Matt Orford has revealed Manly players were subject to injecting calves blood during their NRL championship-winning season of 2008. At the time, Stephen Dank was the club's sports consultant – the same man at the centre of an AFL supplements scandal.

Dank left Manly in 2010 but Scurrah has no concerns that suspect practices could have continued at the Sea Eagles through to the 2011 season – when they beat the Warriors for the NRL title.

“I think what everyone is hearing is pure speculation and gossip-mongering. I think it would be totally unfair to make any allegation against any club or player until there was something concrete,” Scurrah told the Sunday Star-Times.
